This is an 18 year old Islay single malt from Bowmore, a distillery on the shore of Loch Indaal founded in 1779. It is one of only seven Scottish distilleries still turning malt by hand, and the malt is dried with peat smoke.
The whisky is matured in Spanish sherry and American bourbon oak casks, and rests in the No.1 Vaults, which lie below sea level.
The nose is spicy and citrus-led, with stewed fruit, damp wood and very gentle smoke. The palate moves from an early surprise to plum jam, with sweetness, peat smoke and grape. The long finish brings Seville orange marmalade, flowers and dark peat.
